Hello guys, this article will help you to find why pre installed ubuntu laptop is better than windows and some other. I recently installed ubuntu 14.04 besides windows 8.1 Some
great things i like about ubuntu so far. My team also did a great research on best ubuntu laptops of 2018 to find the reasons.
Updates:
where as in windows where you first have to update java,
windows, adobe etc. all individually, has ubuntu a list of installed software
and updates everything at once and rebooting your computer is barely needed.
Tweaking:
you can really change a lot of settings. far more then in
windows. and if you learn even further you can reprogram/change the core of ubuntu.
Running from usb-stick:
You can ubuntu from usb stick, which is really nice. You can
try settings without making any changes to your computer. There are so many
advantages: command line is really powerful and great. ubuntu is much lighter
then windows. great for programming, free.
No viruses:
due to the way ubuntu
is made is it really hard for viruses to survive. so there is no need to have a
virus scanner. you can just kill the virus since it can't hide anywhere.
Great starters guide:
there are many great
guides online to help you started. for me ubuntu is far better than windows. Ubuntu
is the most popular that is 3rd ranked Operating System in the world after
Windows, macOS respectively. It is considered as an industry standard for many
reasons and also due to it’s open source nature. The following points are to be
considered over the advantages of Ubuntu over Microsoft Windows.
It’s free as in free air, anyone can download it and start
using it completely free of costs. It’s open source nature makes it more bullet
proof as in terms of security as there are community people behind the OS to
resolve bugs and security patches quickly as well as the company called
Canonical, which is behind the core essentials of Ubuntu.
Lots of development softwares and packages are ready to be
installed right from the Ubuntu software Center which is free for many packages
repositories. It is faster then Windows in browsing and other day to day
activities.
It can play various types of videos and other software’s if
third party repos are added which are called ppa(personal packaging archives). Linux
based OS’s are preferred first choice of developers and testers as there are
many new features landing on them say every 6 months as new versions of the
OS’s are released which is a lacking factor in Windows and macOS.
Well, Linux will be my suggestion always over windows but
choose the Linux distro with a little care.
Except for gaming, Linux is good to go, actually best for all
uses.
I recommend Debian (Wheezy/Jessie/Sid). I'm just about to try
the Debian Sid (a.k.a. Debian Unstable, which it is not) in a few days. I like
Debian for the fact that that it is very disciplined in terms of providing you
with only open source. You may add other software repositories also if you want
like contrib and non-free. Debian is the mother of most Linux distros and hence
I prefer it over anything else.
My other choice would be Fedora! My choice for gaming is
windows 8.1 (10 is due to arrive soon), only gaming otherwise I don't require this
paid shit full of crap and bloatware either operating system can be loaded as
soon as the computer starts up! If you want to just cruise the web. start
Ubuntu If you want to use one of your programs you purchased start windows. IF
you have a computer that’s OLD and runs Win95 or VISTA or XP you can always
have two operating system at your finger tips.
IT’s FREE— His reasons
are great! Mine are simple.
For myself the biggest advantage of Ubuntu and any other
GNU/Linux system is that the skills I once learn with them never get
outdated. By contrast, each new version
of Windows makes you (as a user and, especially, as a developer) learn the most
important things about your system from scratch.
So, about 10 years ago, for the first time, I wiped Windows from
the hard drive of my laptop. I've never regretted. Since then, wiping Windows
off became the first thing I do to every PC that I use. It truly depends on the
kind of use; following points are my assessment after using both for almost
everything mentioned below:
Development
(Programming, Software/web development, ...)
Ubuntu - the best
Windows - you'll survive
Entertainment (Movies,
Photos, Songs, ...)
Ubuntu - Can do everything what windows can do
Windows - very intuitive
Office work (Word,
Excel, ...)
Ubuntu - you can survive with Wine and MS Office but not the
best experience
Windows - the best
Gaming (CS, NFS, COD,
...)
Ubuntu - nah!
Windows - the best
Adobe creative suite
(Photoshop, After effects, ...)
Ubuntu - Photoshop CS4 using Wine, so consider it not there
Windows - awesome support
Performance (RAM
utilization, Core utilization, ...)
Ubuntu - Better than windows
Windows - okay
Productivity (Explorer,
theme, applications, ...)
Ubuntu (unity) - Really awesome
Windows (7) - good
Security (Antivirus,
firewall, ...)
Ubuntu - awesome, no antivirus needed
Windows - there is always one more virus
Learning curve
Ubuntu - kind of steep learning curve
Windows - easy
